Official October Code Watch

We have a passholder in each room, so I should be able to get all three then?

I was just making reservations (just got off the phone) - the cast member inquired as to whether I was buying a package. I responded that I would like the dining, but not the ticket (I already have PAP and have frequently bought DDP at DVC). He commented that I could buy a one day ticket - that I could elect not to use. He said it would not expire, as the expiration countdown only starts with "first use" of the pass. Then, the next time I purchase another Disney ticket - such as another AP - I could apply the single-day ticket value ($74-ish) to the AP. In other words, I wouldn't have to effectively throw away the one-day ticket just because I don't have a use for it this year.

I can't verify this from practical experience, but I can pass it along for anyone who might find it useful enough to ask their cast member in reservations.

This is true. I did this last year before AP rates came out and then when they came out...I dropped the DV ressie.

I just booked $41. off nightly mod rate (PORiverside) with my AP 10/24-10/29.

 

[KYCruiseCrazy]

can you still get one of these discounts even if you are paid in full? will we have to pay higher prices on tix or dinning? just wondering. i could use any discount for our trip LOL (more to do money)

I just booked $41. off mod (POFQ) with my AP.

For what dates?

I don't know if you can do that anymore. Buy the one day ticket, and use it toward a different vacation. I was reading somewhere that now the ticket expires (even if you don't start to use it) after a certain number of days unless you get the non expiring option. We used to do the same thing, that's why I was upset about hearing that. Let me check and see if I can find something on it.

Bummer bummer bummer... as everyone else has reported, nothing today.

On a side note, a friend of mine has a Disney VISA and had a ressie from a TA for 5 nights at Poly for Nov. Lagoon view.. WAY expensive. Long story short, I called last night and rebooked for her with that Visa code and got a garden view and a one day ticket for literally $1000 LESS than her original reservation. That is significant savings!

I would be thrilled with just some affordable.

Back to waiting..

No AP discount for October this morning. I would think that they would be tired of hearing from us each morning and release the code just so we would stop calling.

 

[matsterrocks]

The Visa codes have been for packages. What about room only discounts will those come out later or do you just buy a one day ticket to make your room only reservation a package?

???

Disneybelle said she just booked a room with an AP rate, anyone else getting any luck??

 

[andromedaslove]

I just booked $41. off nightly mod rate (PORiverside) with my AP 10/24-10/29.

For what dates? Nevermind!!

 

[disneybelle]

For what dates?

Sorry, I updated my earlier post...10/24 through 10/29 at PO Riverside. I also used the Passholder reservation number 407-560-7277, not the general number.

She edited, they are for the end of October.

 

[wdwrunner]

Someone called THIS morning and got an AP rate???
Should we all try again????

Kris, hands on the phone

Disneybelle,
Did you already have the AP code? I just hung up with disney and they said the AP rate was still only up to Sept. 29.
Thanks.

[andromedaslove]

Yes I just got through, and AP rates just got there.

 

[EEyorelover22]

It would seem that one slipped through.

When ap rates were released till the end of Sept a friend of mine here in town received hers on Sunday evening and they were not out officially until I believe Wed morning.

 

[wdwrunner]

I'm on hold with the AP "hotline" number...
Let's see what happens.
Thanks Disneybelle!

Kris, waiting patiently...OK not so patiently.

 

[LouDisney]

I am on hold with the AP line as well.

Just got the rates this morning. I don't know why I got so lucky, but I was also able to book an AP room for another passholder family member who'll be travelling with us. Maybe they're still uploading other resorts.
